Viktoria Plzen's game against Mlada Boleslav this weekend has been postponed as they prepare to face Rangers in Champions League qualifying.
The Czech side launched an appeal to the country's football chiefs, given that they'd be facing Boleslav this Saturday, and then travelling to face Russell Martin's men at Ibrox just 72 hours later.
They have since learned the outcome of said appeal. Club spokesman Vaclav Hanzlik said [fcviktoria.cz]: "Due to Tuesday's match in Glasgow and the associated travel, we asked the LFA and Mlada Boleslav to postpone Saturday's match.

"We greatly appreciate that both sides agreed, and we can now fully concentrate on the very important match of the third qualifying round of the Champions League, which is important due to the coefficient for all of Czech football."
It comes after Plzen manager Miroslav Koubek bemoaned his team's gruelling fixture schedule: "I don't know if I should even unpack my bags, there's no time for anything, not even to study Rangers," he said.
"Some associations make it easier for clubs to postpone their league round at such a moment. With us, it is automatic only in the case of the play-offs.
"The players wanted to celebrate, but I told them they weren't even allowed a single beer. I ordered them to go straight to bed."
